"They did find him to have little to no chance of rehabilitation, why should someone like that be on the street, in the community.

"It is hard to come back to things and hear cases that we've had to live."

He said the second attack could have been prevented.

"He didn't want to do the rehabilitation programs, he only did that to play the legal game, to get out, once he got out, he wanted back in, that's why he did it so publicly, once again, he wanted to get caught," Mr Walker said.

"He knows he's not safe in the public, he shouldn't be in the public.

"We said that this would happen again, we said that he would re-offend, we believe that when he gets out again, he will re-offend again and here we go again."

Ms Walker said it was painful to see Leary in court and she called on the legal system to be reformed.

Leary will be eligible for parole in September 2024, at the age of 57.
